Description
The Global Internship Program in Engineering Design and Innovation (GIPEDI) is a Internship Program in the Electrical Sciences for students and professionally qualified engineers. It is a program of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, implemented with logistic support from the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT).
IIT Delhi and FITT are offering internship for IIT students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate from recognized academic Institutions as well as professionally qualified engineers. Women engineers and meritorious engineering students who need support or have special needs to fulfill professional aspirations are encouraged to apply under its affirmative action initiative. For professionally qualified Engineers, it offers Returnships for those who to get back to an active career after a break and Gap Internships for those professionals who wish to switch careers or are between two careers. The Gap Internship is also appropriate for fresh graduates/post-graduates "on the bench" who are waiting to join a job or waiting to get admission to another program after completing one program.
The Program runs throughout the year in four batches of different durations. Internship period starts from July 15, 2014 to December 31, 2014 for fall, from December 15, 2014 to January 15, 2015 for winter, from January 15, 2015 to May 15, 2015 for spring and May 15, 2015 to July 15, 2015 for summer.
GIPEDI is designed differently, as it does not just train students to execute projects, it trains them in project planning, requirements analysis, specification generation, design iteration management, team work and ethics, behaviour management, team building, group etiquette and communication skills. Apart from a full set of technology modules, it also uses specially designed training modules in ethics, history through heritage sensitization/heritage walks and lessons from mythology to teach culturally-conscious and effective engineering practices.
The Global Internship Program in Engineering Design and Innovation for the Electrical Sciences is coordinated by Prof. Subrat Kar, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering & Bharti School of Telecommunication Technology and Management / Airtel IIT Delhi Center of Excellence in Telecommunication (AICET) in IIT Delhi.
